compact fonts, fake slanted and \definefallbackfamily (LMTX only)
by Pablo Rodriguez 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

Dear list, I have the following sample: \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] \definefallbackfamily [mainface][rm][Dejavu Sans] [sl={style:regular, features:slanted},preset=range:greek] \definefontfamily [mainface][rm][Latin Modern Sans] %[sl={style:regular, features:slanted}] \setupbodyfont [mainface] \starttext αβγ9 some word others\\ \sl αβγ9 some word others \stoptext The only way to get slanted Greek is either with disabled compact fonts, or with fake slanted added to \definefontfamily. I’m experiencing this with LMTX only (MkIV is fine). I’m using current latest (2025.02.07 20:46). Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

For some fun, here's a PDF document running linux: https://github.com/ading2210/linuxpdf https://linux.doompdf.dev/linux.pdf (I guess we now only need to make sure that luametatex can run inside the PDF viewer.) Mojca

Dear list, I would like to have chapters in bodypart to list two numbers, the previous to the current page and the current page, such as in: 14 · 15 24·25 50 · 51 100 · 101 I tried the following command, but I cannot get the previous to the current page number: \setuplist[chapter] [pagecommand={\the\numexpr\currentlistentrypagenumber-1\ ·}] What am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

matching the same child number (XML)
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Feb '25

08 Feb '25

Dear list, I have the following way to get text from the current XML node: \xmltext{#1}{.} I would like to have the same results matching the same element. I thought the command should read, but I don‘t get the right results: \xmltext{#1}{../*[match()==lxml.match("#1")]} Minimal sample here: \startbuffer[demo] <root> <div id="one"> <p>first</p> <p>second</p> <p>third</p> </div> <div id="two"> <p>First</p> <p>Second</p> <p>Third</p> </div> </root> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1} {root|div|p} {xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:root \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:div \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlmatch{#1}: \xmltext{#1}{.}\\ \xmltext{#1}{../*[match()==lxml.match("#1")]} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext How could I match only the current n-th child? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Floats: indentnext=yes suppressed by location=page
by Tomáš Hála 08 Feb '25

08 Feb '25

Hi all, I came across a problem with indentation of a paragraph following an image. The location "here" indents the next paragraph as expected whereas with option "page" not. What am I doing wrong? Or is there any other parameter? Thanks for any hint. Tomáš %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Tested with TL2024 and with current LMTX \setupindenting[yes,2em] %\setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] \setupfloat[indentnext=yes] \starttext \input knuth %\startplacefigure[location=here] %OK \startplacefigure[location=page] %does not indent \framed{An image} \stopplacefigure \input knuth \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

parallel texts with columnsets
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Feb '25

08 Feb '25

Dear list, some days ago, I discovered "m-bibles.mkxl". Unless I miss something, I think this may be a way to have parallel texts (such as original text and translation) in facing pages. I would like to be able to sync two text streams, as in the following minimal sample: \showframe\showgrid \setuplayout [grid=yes] \setupwhitespace [none] \definecolumnset [paral] [n=1] \definesubcolumnset[paral][1][1] \definesubcolumnset[paral][2][2] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \starttext \startcolumnset[paral] \dorecurse{20}{% \startsubcolumnset[1] \title{Knuth} \flushsubcolumnsets[spread] \stopsubcolumnset \startsubcolumnset[1] \input{knuth} \flushsubcolumnsets[spread] \stopsubcolumnset} \dorecurse{20} {\startsubcolumnset[2] \title{Zapf} \flushsubcolumnsets[spread] \stopsubcolumnset \startsubcolumnset[2] \input{zapf} \flushsubcolumnsets[spread] \stopsubcolumnset} \flushsubcolumnsets[spread] \stopcolumnset \stoptext Sorry, but since the module contains also code for XML handling, I don‘t understand how the whole title and text synching works there. Would anyone be so kind to explain how the sample above could have both parallel titles and texts? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
